About Aotea Roadies

‘Roadie’ is short for ‘road trip’ in kiwi speak and most kiwis are familiar with the iconic ‘road trip’ experience. Nostalgic memories of a trusty old station wagon jam packed to the tops of the windows with friends, family, pets and neighbours; pillows, sleeping bags, chips and lollies, camping gear, chillie bins, togs, and as many toys and jandals as you can cram into the gaps. As such, the classic road trip is loaded with anticipation and excitement for the inevitable adventures that lie ahead.
